The night’s hero was Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who showed class and composure as he weaved through defenders to slot home the only goal of the match. But it wasn’t just the scoreline that had fans buzzing — it was the fearless full debut of 16-year-old Reggie Walsh that stole the spotlight. Becoming Chelsea's youngest-ever starter in a European competition, Walsh displayed remarkable maturity, completing the full 90 minutes and nearly grabbing an assist with a clever through ball.
Under new head coach Enzo Maresca, the Blues are blending youth with experience to devastating effect. They've now won 11 of their 12 games in the tournament, scoring 38 goals and conceding just nine — a dominant campaign by any standard.
Now, all eyes turn to the final in Wroclaw, Poland, on May 28, where Chelsea will face Spanish side Real Betis. Adding an intriguing subplot, Maresca will go head-to-head with his former mentor, Manuel Pellegrini, in what promises to be a tactical showdown for the trophy.
